One of the most encouraging features
of church and benevolent work in these
days is the active enlistment Of the young
people in these activities. Everybody
knows what wonderful growth the
Young Peoples United Societies of Chris
tian Endeavor have had in this country,
and what an influence for good they have
eXerted in the minds and hearts of the
young people as we'll as in the comma
nifty at large. Our city of Burlington =
now in a certain sense, the headquarte ,
of this organization, being the home of
its president, Mr. w. J. Van Patten and
of four of the largest and most acti
local societies. The organization is RAPID
ly extending both in this country and Can
ada, and it will not be long before every
evangelical church in the United States
has branch of the Y. p. 5. G. +.
! This, however, is not the only young
peoples society within the fold of the
churches. The Unitarian churches all
over the country have been organizing
Unity clubs among their young people.
These are something like the Young Peo-
pies societies of Christian Endeavor, ex-
cept that the element of personal religion
Is not made so prominent. The Unity
clubs exist chiefly for the promotion of
the intellectual and social interests of the
churches. Their tendency, however, is tC
bring young people into the churches, tc
interest them in church work, and thus
to train them for church membership. II
is proposed that these Unitarian Unity
clubs shall be organized into general so
ciety, with constitution and officers, ano
a convention is now in session in Boston
with this end in view. 1t is hoped thai
the organization of a central society vii
not only lead to the systematic and hal

cause many new clubs to spring up in tn,

A Significant Meeting.

The first public meeting of the anti
saloon republicans of New York city, at
Cooper institute, last week, marked the
beginning of a crusade against the rum
power on the part of the republican party,
which promises to be one of the most sig
nificant features of the next campaign
This meeting was the first public express
sion of a sentiment which has been rapid
ly growing in the republican party, and
has at last found it's way into action One
cannot read the extended reports of this
meeting the speeches that were made and
the extracts of letters sent by
leading republicans all over the
country without feeling that this
anti-saloon movement is one of the most
hopeful and important ones that has re-
ceived republican support since the last of
the republican amendments to the consti-
tuition was adopted 1t is evident that many
influential party leaders have thoroughly
determined to place the republican party,
| if possible, squarely on the side of tenn
perance, because they see that the future
growth and strength of the party will de-
pend upon the extent to which it allies it.
self with the cause of temperance. This
fact was frankly recognized at the New
York meeting. In the course of a stir
ring speech eX-Judge Noah Davis said
Shall we, who have achieved so much in
the thirty years of that party's life to
make America what she is now on the
map of the globe, the foremost in civilza
ton and strength of all the people of the
earth, shall we 20 back upon that glorious
record, like the old wing party to which
have alluded, and cuddle in the same hole

and eX-secretary of the treasury said

party of great moral ideas. 1t thrives il

Poor Country Roads

The New York EDening Post has re-
Gently printed an excellent article on
Country Roads, showing that in orr
methods of keeping up these avenues of
communication Americans are still back
in colonial times. 1t is indeed matter of
surprise that, with our rapid progress and
i.rproved methods in other directions, we
ould still adhere TO the ways of our grand
fathers in the matter of keeping our couu-
try roads in repair. Anyone who has oc-
cason to travel much by horse and wagon
between our New England villages, knows
in what a disgraceful state our country
roads are often found. This is especially
the case in the early spring and after the
farmers have worked out" their road tax
by converting the once passable highway
into a rough, uneven ridge of hummocks
and sod.
The fact is that road building and road
repairing is science, and an important
science too and it is ridiculous that
work, of such practical Importance, sh ould
be so largely entrusted to men, who, how
ever skilled and successful they may be
in their own department of industry,
know little of the principles of surveying,
or scientific road making, and whose only
idea of repairing roadway is to pile lot
of dirt in the middle of the highway,
until it becomes a ridge of soil along the
narrow surface of which teams have to
pick their way, looking out for places to
pass other teams without danger of upset
ting 1t is false economy that makes so
many of our rural communities content
: to get along with poor roads so long as
they can save a few cents on the grand
list. Think of the waste in horse flesh, in
the wear and tear OF vehicles, in time and
energy which this saving at the spigot
brings about. Permanent good roads,
built to stay, would be far cheaper in the
long run. 1t is a reproach to our New
England farmers that they are not more
in line with the spirit of the times in this
respect. They are all the time applying
improved machinery and better methods
in agriculture-why not in road building
We are glad TO say that in some parts of
Vermont there are signs of awakening in
this matter of roads, but for the most
part our rural communities still adhere tC
the primitive methods.

Mexican Trade.

During President Arthur's administra-
ton, it will be remembered that an at
tempt was made to improve American
trade with Mexico, which failed for want
of support in Congress. England then
seized the chance which this country re-
jected, and now England enjoys CONNER
cial relations with Mexico which may ever
cause the people of this country to regret
and condemn the folly of their lawmakers.
Great Britain is now we'll established in
the regarl of the MeXlcans, who have
even banded their mint over to IA London
syndicate, and branches of the bank of
London, Mexico and South America, are
to be established in every State of the

that millions of American money have
been spent in Mexican railroads and other
enterprises, it hardly seems right that
English influence should so preponderate
in that drepublic. But just what can be
done about it, is not very easy to see.

The time prophesied in holy writ,

OF one man, saying "let us be called by
thy NAME" seems to have pretty nearly
come. In Plainfeld, n j., one day last

eleven children attended the funeral of
John Butte Holmes. Each asserted that
she was his widow, and that he was
father of her children. The present Mrs.
Holmes was the old mans housekeeper,
and is in possession of his farm; but the
other women will make a legal fight fol-
